Has anyone tried mapping the users table to multiple tables from another app?

I have an existing app that has a main user table and an associated profile table. I'd like to add the extra Vanilla fields to the profile table and not the main user table. But the trick is, *some* of the fields like password and user_id are in the main table.
So Vanilla would have to search both of those tables to extract data. But I only see a way to re-map the user data to a single table.

Has anyone done this or have a good idea on how this could be accomplished?
Thanks!

You have to create you own Authenticator, check out other integration examples:

Forgot my last comment. I don't think your problem is the authentication; I guess you would like to populate a user object with data from different tables.

You can't map the user table to multiple tables but you can extends the UserManager class so that the User object is populated with data from different table. But this new UserManager won't be used for creating $Context->Session->User because it is created before the extensions are loaded. I might be able to fix that in Vanilla 1.1.5.

1.1.5 should have been release on monday but it will probably be release next week instead.

I am away today and tomorrow, so I can patch Vanilla right now but it will be like replacing the default authenticator. Vanilla won't include People.Class.UserManager.php but the file defined in $Configuration['USER_MANAGER_MODULE']. I still have to see how the BuilderFactory will also know which UserManager class to use.

You are correct. Your version of UserManager just need have the same protocol. Using some setting, Vanilla will load and use your version of UserManager.

You just need to create on extensions (e.g.: MyExtension) and create the files for you version of UserManager (e.g.: MyUserManager) and maybe User (e.g.:MyUser):
/Path/To/extensions/MyExtension/People/People.Class.MyUserManager.php
/Path/To/extensions/MyExtension/People/People.Class.MyUser.php

then in /Path/To/extensions/MyExtension/default.php:

[...]
if (!isset($Configuration['MY_EXTENSION_VERSION'])) {
// Adds persistence Object Factory reference
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'OBJECT_FACTORY_REFERENCE_USER_MANAGER', 'MyUserManager');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'OBJECT_FACTORY_REFERENCE_USER', 'MyUser');
// Tells vanilla where to find your class
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'LIBRARY_INCLUDE_PATH',
$Configuration['LIBRARY_INCLUDE_PATH'] . ';%EXTENSIONS%/MyExtension/');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'MY_EXTENSION_VERSION', '0.1');
}
